Sue would like to express her thanks to all the customers who have supported the business over the years. It’s with a heavy heart that New Forest Fabrics owner Sue Pepper has made the decision to close her Dibden Purlieu shop. Sue set up New Forest Fabrics in 2013 and has successfully run the business both in the shop and online ever since. Looking to retire Sue was hoping to sell the business on to keep the local community well stocked with all their fabric and haberdashery needs but unfortunately no serious o ers were made. Sue has now decided to close the shop and will be holding a closing down sale over the coming weeks. New Forest Fabrics has been the ‘must go’ place for beautiful fabrics for the patchwork enthusiast and dressmaker Centre Garden room, a drop in for anyone!” e event was lots of fun and the Dragons and participants all sat down to enjoy a bowl of homemade watercress or vegetable soup together a er the pitches had taken place. e next Revital Hythe Soup Dragons is taking place on Thursday 25th August with pitch applications closing on Friday 19th August , look out for details on the Parish Council website: hytheanddibden.gov.uk Thank you to Helen, the Rotary Club and all the participants who attended, and of course, my lovely daughter Ruthanne who came from Chichester, and looked after me, keeping me on track!” The money will go towards the printing costs for our new weekly events every Thursday from 1-5pm at the Waterside Health Farewell to New Forest Fabrics New Forest Fabrics Many thanks to all the helpers and folk who supported their May Fayre on the A THANK YOU FROM BLACKFIELD BAPTIST CHURCH 7th May, they raised £952 which will go to the Ukraine Appeal.
